In loving memory of Simba Mhere

This Thursday on Top Billing, it is with deep sadness that we pay tribute to our beloved friend, colleague and brother Simba Mhere.

Simba Mhere, our dear friend, much loved colleague and talented Top Billing presenter who brought a smile to so many faces and a warm feeling to so many hearts – we miss you and mourn your passing.

We could always hear you in a noisy room, you always stood out in a crowd. Your heart was filled with love and happiness, and you tackled every project with a positive energy and zest for life. You loved your family and always did your best for them and that love extended to your Top Billing family and fans and to everyone you met and got to know working on the show.

We will miss your laughter, your wonderful sense of humour and your impressive talent – but know that your memory will still live on in the wonderful work that you have done and in the hearts of all those who have come to love you dearly.
